Question

8. Write the equation of a line through points (5,5) and (1, 0) in point-slope form.

y = (x - 1)
О
5
y-1= = (x - 1)
y==(x-5)
y-5= -(x - 1)

Answer 1

y=5x-7

Answer 2

The linear equation can be written as:

y - 5 = (5/4)*(x - 5)

How to write the linear equation?

We know that this line passes through (5, 5) and (1, 0), so the slope of this linear equation will be given by:

a = (5 - 0)/(5 - 1) = 5/4

Remember that a linear equation with a slope a and a point (h, k) can be written as:

y - k = a*(x - h)

Here we can use the slope 5/4 and the point (5, 5) to get:

y - 5 = (5/4)*(x - 5)
